Ismini +He wants to kill me . . . More than that, he wants to see me die.I don’t know him. I’ve only heard about him throughout my short life.It is my destiny to die at his hand when he sacrifices me to the Fates . . .All so that my death can bring back his obsession.The woman he loves.He’s my death.But he’s more than that.He’s the air that destroys me with each breath. An addiction I never … with each breath. An addiction I never planned on having.
I’ve mated to my killer.
Either way, I’m going to die.
The question now is if I can survive long enough for him to complete his sacrifice and bring back the woman he truly adores.
+ Dyletri +
Fourteen-thousand years ago, I locked away my powers.
The loss of one woman took everything from me. I made a deal to wait. To sacrifice an innocent that would be born in the far future to bring my beloved back.
Then I laid eyes on that girl . . . and everything I thought I knew got shredded to shit.
She’s reawakened the monster in me.
The madness.
The hunger.
The creature that demands a taste of her flesh.
Even worse, for the first time in my long, brutal existence, the monster is demanding her blood.
I’ve mated to my victim.
I’ll have no choice but to keep my promise. I have to sacrifice her. And the moment I do . . .
We’re both going to die.

WELL!!! If you haven’t read this book by N. Isabelle blanco you missing out on hot as f##k gods!!! You are not going to believe this hot sexy read!!! Blanco can write like a master storyteller and her characters are like none ive every read!! So! Friggin original !! This book is “Ismini and dyletri ‘s story, dyletri is the God of lust and ismini is to be the sacrifice to bring back his beloved and keep peace and destruction from happening to the world,but from the moment they come together the monster inside dyletri just wants to claim ismini and when dyletri ‘s mating mark appears on her neck their is no going back for either of them!!! Blanco combines three of my favorite things mythology, hot strong alpha’s and hotter than hell sex!!! Lord! What these guys can do will make weak!!! Next up in this series is the God of tranquility and he’s anything but!!! Zeniel is very ,very intense and dangerous!! Can’t wait!
This was the first time I read a book by N. Isabelle Blanco. I’ve read a collaboration of hers, but this was my introduction to what she could really produce on her own. And I was absolutely blown away! She hooked me right from her prologue, sucked me into the lives and emotions of each of her characters, and has left me hungry for so much more.
What I liked:
This book was so HOT!! The words, the growls, the moans, the undulations of bodies, the descriptions… so. freaking. hot!!
The world building – the way that Enzyria was described, I could easily imagine this realm. From the 108-inch TV screen to the rooms to the hills and mountain ranges to the temples, I could picture it all.
The characters – I don’t just mean the main characters of this story, Dyletri and Ismini, although they were fantastic and I’ll get to them in a sec. I mean all of the characters. The author took the time to give details for each so that I was able to not only picture them in my head, but also give them their own unique mannerisms, facial expressions, etc. She made them so freaking real!
Dyletri and Ismini – Dyletri fancied himself in love with a Queen (Dimithinia) and when she was killed he vowed to resurrect her. He had to balance the tide, so in order to save her soul he had to sacrifice another. Both he and Ismini knew what her purpose was and although she wasn’t okay with it, she had accepted it. But when these two meet face-to-face, their destiny takes a sudden swerve. Dyletri tries hard to deny the pull of this human but Ismini has already accepted her fate – she’s mated to him. And there is so much more!!
The plot – it was like a mix of gods, humans, destiny, mating and then… oh yeah, btw, there’s a war coming between these amazing people I’ve met and the Aviraji, which as I understand it, used to be what all of these gods were.
The intricacy of the plot – yeah, I know I should have included this above, but it deserves its own point. There was so much going on (and easy to follow along) that I need to make it clear how freaking lovely this was. There’s obviously a romance build going on, but there’s also a battle, both internally and externally, for all of these gods, especially with Dyletri and Zeniel. Dyletri was originally the God of Lust, sleeping with anyone who called him. Zeniel was originally Mavrak, the God of Vengeance, who led a massacre and had to be tortured into submission. Gah!! And there is SO much more to learn!!
The so-called side characters who felt very much like main characters, although they didn’t each get a POV. I can’t wait to learn more about each and every one of them. I was able to see their plots developing in this story, but I can’t wait to find out exactly how everything plays out. Zeniel/Mavrak is next and I’m sure it will be just as fabulous as this one.
Cyake, Nylicia, Zexistr, Sil, Liz, Ian, Nythi, and I hope there’s a freaking story for Crius and Dimithinia. I NEED it!!
EVERYTHING!!
What I didn’t like:
*crickets* Cuz there was NOTHING that I didn’t like!!
I’m just gobsmacked! N. Isabelle Blanco’s new series has virtually smacked me in the face with this book’s awesomeness!! I want to tell you all about it, but I won’t. I really need you to add this to your reading list though. If you’re a fan of fantasy, mythology, and/or paranormal romance, you will definitely be a fan of this book.
Phenomenal Story!
WOW! This story was absolutely phenomenal. I am blown away right now by how damn sexy and steamy this story is – I mean panty melting!!! I could not put this book down. It was intense, thrilling, suspenseful, dangerous, and filled to the brim with vivid imagery that you will be transported to mind blowing otherworld that you won’t want to leave.
Brilliantly written with phenomenal characters who you will be swooning and lusting over, and a storyline that weaves a tale like no other.
This was a unique, strange and very compelling read.
I found it took a while to get into and have some idea what was going on but once I had it totally captivated me.
I look forward to reading more in the series!

This was an excellent qnd intense read
N. Isabelle Blanco has woven a whole different PNR world with Enzyria in Blood Flows Deep. I was so grateful for the Glossaries of Terms and Characters to help me keep track of who was whom, and the language of this realm. I was immersed in the story, and once you acclimated, it was quite picturesque and vivid.
Dyletri was the God of Lust, and although Ismini, a human, was to be the sacrifice, he couldn’t help but be drawn to her, despite believing that he was meant to be with Queen Dimithinia. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the entire cast of characters as well. They were each uniquely drawn for us to see, and I loved how they all had their part in this story. There’s a war coming, and amidst this realm of gods and humans, there is lust, mating, and bloodshed.
This was a fantastic story, and I look forward to more of the Ryze series!
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength happiness and funny. The story of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

The author has created a wonderful world with a brilliant plot and great characters. I loved this must, it’s a must read for fans of the author or the genre.

I was taken by the blurb written and chose to read this book. I wasn’t disappointed. The author delivered a fantastic tale of revenge with twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages. I was mesmerized by the characters in this story. They were so compelling they felt real. Wonderfully written.
This is an intense story line that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and turns and hot chemistry. Lots of excitement. A thrilling must read, every page will have you enthralled and panting for more. Let’s not forget to mention the chemistry of these two.
An intriguing fantasy of immortals and the human females destined to be their mates. Dy and Ismini’s story is only the tip of the iceberg, the first pairing of several, and these women really know how to aggravate their frustrated mates-to-be who are in denial of their fates. Lots of cussing and some steamy loving, so be aware. As for me, I am enjoying this series a l-o-t!

Confusing story line!
by sewsummore
This book had so much going on in it I found it hard to comprehend at times. This storyline was based on mythogy and the ancient gods, each with their own roles to play in the story. The God of Lust is refered to as either Salicyar or Dyletri, has failed to save his human lover Dimithinia from death and the fates have promised him that she can be reborn if he sacrifices an innocent fourteen thousand years into the future. However when that time grows near Dyletri falls for the intended sacrifice and he knows if she does not die thousands of innocents will die as a result. This story was confusing and totally unbelievable with complex situations that are guided by part truths spoken by Watcher of Destinies, Nylicia.
